Well, I think it's ok for the light at idle right now, since the engine is
running hotter that usual (breaking in).. A light at idle is even okay
according to the manual. I just desire proper oil pressure while on the
road, which I have. I'm going to wait and see..
I don't have the dual system since this is an 84 westy.
I'll figure out the digijet thing eventually
thanks
